XCOM: Enemy Unknown arriving October 9th, pre-order and CE detailed

Firaxis Games' excellent looking XCOM: Enemy Unknown is coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC October 9th in US and 12th in Europe. There's also a pre-order bonus at retail giving us the Elite Soldier Pack.

That DLC gives us a classic XCOM soldier. There's also Deco packs which let us customise soldier armour with "several aesthetic upgrades" and colours. PC gets a special edition.

2K Games also has a special edition for the PC version at participating retailers. Included is the game, an art book, a poster of the XCOM HQ, an XCOM insignia patch and digital goodies.

"As we reimagine XCOM, one of our goals is to evolve the experience while recognising what made X-COM one of the greatest PC games to date,” said Sarah Anderson, senior vice president of marketing for 2K.

“It’s important to create an experience that is appealing to both existing fans and newcomers to the world of XCOM, which is what we’re doing with XCOM: Enemy Unknown.”
